Daniel Ivin (born Danko Goldstein; 16 April 1932 – 20 June 2021) was a Croatian writer, politician and human rights activist.
Ivin was born in April 1932, and raised in Karlovac, in a Jewish family. [1] His elder brother was Slavko Goldstein. [2] [3]
His father, Ivo ("Izchak") Goldstein, was a book dealer in Karlovac. In 1941, his father was murdered by the Ustaše at the Jadovno concentration camp. [4]
As a boy, Danko joined the Partisans and served as a courier. At the end of 1942, he watched over Ustaše captive Jure Francetić and informed the Partisan headquarters about the latter's health. [1] He changed his name from Danko to Daniel/Danijel, and surname from Goldstein to Ivin (meaning son of Ivo) in honour of his late father.[ citation needed]
From 1949–52, Ivin lived in Israel and served in Israel Defense Forces. [1] Upon his return to Croatia he worked as a journalist. Later he worked under Franjo Tuđman at the "Institute for history of the labor movement" in Zagreb. In 1966, for his attempt to start the non-Communist newspaper Slobodna riječ (Free word), he was sentenced to several months in prison under charges of organizing the assassination of Josip Broz Tito. [1]
After being released, Ivin lived in Switzerland and Great Britain. [1] In 1989, together with his brother Slavko, Ivin founded the Croatian Social Liberal Party. [5]
In 1993 he co-founded the Croatian Helsinki Committee, serving as president in 2007. [6] In 2012 he was elected as a new president of the "Council of the Croatian anti-fascists". [7]
